Key Attributes

  1. High-Performance Alloys

    • Alloy 904L: A super-austenitic stainless steel with copper addition, ideal for stainless steel pipe connectors in sulfuric acid environments. Resists crevice corrosion and stress cracking in chloride-rich settings, making it perfect for marine and pharmaceutical industries.
    • Duplex 2205: Combines austenitic and ferritic structures, offering double the yield strength of standard grades. Ideal for 2 inch stainless steel pipe systems in high-pressure oil/gas applications.
  2. Mechanical Strength

    • Tensile Strength: Alloy 904L maintains stability in acidic media, while Duplex 2205 excels in mechanical stress due to nitrogen-enhanced toughness.
    • Bend Strength: Both grades support seamless welding and cold forming, critical for custom stainless steel pipe suppliers offering tailored solutions.
  3. Corrosion Resistance

    • 904L: Resists reducing acids (e.g., sulfuric, phosphoric) and seawater due to high molybdenum and nickel content.
    • 2205: Immune to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (SCC), ideal for offshore rigs and desalination plants.

Weight Calculation

The weight of stainless steel pipes is calculated using:

Where:

  • : Outer Diameter (mm)
  • : Wall Thickness (mm)

Example: A 2 inch stainless steel pipe (50.8 mm OD) with 5 mm wall thickness weighs 5.58 kg/m.


Identification & Marking

  • Laser Etching: ASTM/EN standards, heat number, and alloy grade (e.g., "904L" or "2205").
  • Color Coding: Optional bands for industrial inventory management.

Why Do Stainless Steel Pipes Rust?

Despite their corrosion-resistant properties, rust can occur due to:

  1. Chloride Exposure: Coastal or industrial environments degrade passive oxide layers, especially in Alloy 904L without post-weld cleaning.
  2. Intergranular Corrosion: Improper welding of Duplex 2205 without nitrogen stabilization leads to chromium carbide precipitation.
  3. Surface Contamination: Iron particles or grease disrupt the protective chromium oxide layer.
  4. Low-Quality Alloys: Substandard nickel/molybdenum ratios reduce corrosion resistance.
